No More Ashamed Pores
Let me tell you about my love life. Over the past decade or so, I haven't found been able to find love anywhere within the cleansing department. The cleansers on the shelves at my nearest department store routinely broke my heart. Didn't live up to my expectations. Contained fragrances, colors, bead...

Sad about the change.
I have been using this cleanser for over 13 years. It's the one skincare product I have never had to consider changing - no matter what was going on with my complexion, Special Cleansing Gel worked. Until now. The change in my latest shipment was immediately noticeable - fragrance! Not a good sign f...

Amazing
I have used this for years and although it is pricey it is the perfect cleanser for makeup brushes. I do a double cleanse on my skin at night before bed with this and then follow up with the skin smoothing moisturizer. I just started using it for makeup brushes and realized just how good it really is. Its gets brushed clean in one wash.
Fantastic
This cleanser is wonderful. My face felt so clean without feeling stripped. It also made my face really soft after one wash. I have very acne reactive skin and my face loved this product. I have moved on to another, cheaper cleanser and I am thinking about going back to this one instead.
I have used Special Cleansing Gel for over 25 years.
Best cleanser. Have used it for years and always get compliments about my skin
Best for sensitive skin and even for after shave!
No doubt that Dermalogica has one of most best results skin products in the market. The Special cleanser gel it's extraordinary, Me and my husband love it! And it last forever, We used twice a day. The company it is environment conscious that has a refill
Pricy but lasts
I am 35, Asian, and have combination skin. I strictly use Dermalogica skincare for all my needs (pre-cleanse, toner, cleaner, exfoliant, vitamin-c, retinol, and moisturizer). I have seen vast improvements in my skin after switching from drugstore back to Dermalogica. I tried drugstore for a while but find this brand worth the investment. Everything goes a long way. The last time I bought cleanser was 5/30/24. I am ALMOST out of cleanser as of 3/18/25. I still have quite a bit left and am convinced I can at least make it to mid-April before refilling. I use the TINIEST drop when cleansing and it gets my face, neck, and chest. Cant recommend this brand enough. Your skin is worth the investment!!
